Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the perception of students with mental disability about the school curricular content in the current common class. Ten students participated in the survey. They had been in specialized places for students with mental disabilities and now they were classmates from the current common class. The data collection procedures involved interviews with students. The data analysis for the answers of the interviews was made from the content analysis. The results evidenced that the students, although they like the school, have difficulties with the school curricular content, especially because there’s no adequacy of the learning process to the needs of the students. The dates indicate that the schools should organize new situations of teaching-learning that really take the diversity, although the education system should reviews the production of school failure for the developing of successful inclusive pedagogy practice.
